I once saw Frank Zappa's work at a Planetarium Star show, it was quite weird, but entertaining. Everything was triggered in real-time according to the change-ups in his music. Not sure how they did that, maybe along the same lines as MIDI controllers.

what was that song of his that kept saying "Get the Rabbit up the Poop-chute!".
I heard it once after someone had given me some funny tasting paper and things got kinda wierd. Wasn't sure if it was the actual lyrics or if some type of freaky, subliminal, rabbit love shit was being realized in my mind.

Zappa is one of the most influential musicians in my opinion, unfortunately sometimes underrated...
I will never forget Amsterdam's Philarmonic Orchestra playing some of his most interesting work. Surreal.

loved the guy and I don't really know much of his music. I love Apostrophe. Some of the funniest, well written, funny and funky tracks. Some of it even reminds me of the Beastie Boys jamming.

I just remember I saw Zappa once. I think it was around 1988-90, Nassau Colliseum, Long Island. Great show. He did an amazing cover of I Am the Walrus. He spent a lot of time waving a batton like a conductor, which I thought was funny. Then, when he was in the mood, he would jam on the guitar for a while. The other musicians were great too.

UUUHHH OOOOhhHHH
The best guitarrist uncomprehended composer fully exiting music at all.
Here in Brasil there is a band that plays it very very hard, Ike Willis came once to play with them.
The Central Scrutinizer Band, I guess.
